Description
Cell migration is one of the fundamental cellular phenomenon connected to several important biological processes like embryonic development, wound healing, tissue engineering or neural development. Impaired regulation of cell migration can be the cause of many diseases like osteoporosis, arthritis or cancer metastasis. For these reasons, studies of cell migration are of particular interest for life sciences. Cell migration is inherently dynamic process where the local, transient signaling events cooperate with global changes in cellular architecture and behavior. Here, the dynamic aspects of these interactions will be discussed in the light of recent advances in the studies of cell migration.
